ACADEMIC Management Summary to the Board Of Management Summary to the Board of Governors February 15, 2011 ACADEMIC Management Report – Academic Services – December 2010 & January 2011 Mobile Learning Centre On January 6, 2011, Algonquin College opened Canada’s first Mobile Learning Centre (MLC) to the College community. The Centre is designed to provide an area for students, as well as staff and faculty, with mobile devices to learn and collaborate. Since the launch, the MLC has been well received by the Algonquin community. The Centre will help the College to work with our students in order to best determine their needs and requirements within a mobile environment. Students welcome the new environment and preliminary feedback indicates the new space is extremely beneficial to collaborative, informal learning. School of Advanced Technology Students in the Architectural Technology and Green Architecture programs will take part in an Interprofessional Education initiative over the next couple of months. With students from the Bachelor of Applied Arts (Interior Design), Interior Decorating, and Kitchen and Bath Design programs, interdisciplinary teams will be formed to compete in the creation of a winning design for the next IFit house to be constructed in 2011‐12 by the trades programs at the Perth Campus. School of Health and Community Studies The Canadian Overseas Mentorship Experience (COME) project has concluded and has been handed over to the Algonquin College Access Program (ACAP) of Business Development to deliver as a share‐e‐ mentoring model. The model consists of two parts: online mentoring and pre‐departure course delivery. Business Development will market and administer the mentorship components while the School will continue to monitor and deliver the online course components. This is an example of an academic area working with Business Development to deliver a service in our community. School of Media and Design The Third Annual Media and Design Hall of Fame welcomed over 50 industry representatives, as well as faculty and students. This year’s inductees included: - Joseph Thornley, Public Relations - Max Keeping, Broadcast – TV - Catherine Mensour, Scriptwriting - Earl McRae, Journalism - Steve Madley, Broadcast – Radio - Karl Travis, Interior Design - Jessica Borutski, Animation - Neville Smith, Graphic Design February 15, 2011 Management Summary to the Board of Governors Page 2 Police and Public Safety Institute On December 15, 2010, a group of Children’s Aid Society crown wards attended Algonquin College to learn more about programs such as Firefighter, Paramedic, and Police Foundations. Firefighter and Paramedic graduate, Micah Rietschlin, provided an overview for his programs and Police Foundations graduate and Ottawa police officer, Mike Pelletier, who is a former crown ward himself, did a presentation on Police Foundations and the career of policing. Career and Academic Access Centre Four Employment Ontario (EO) programs, including Academic Upgrading, are now co‐located at 52 Abbot Street in Smiths Falls. In recognition of this, the agencies hosted an Open House on December 1, 2010. Opening remarks were made by Mayor Dennis Staples and the region’s EO Employment Training Consultant, Barbara Landry. Approximately 80 people attended the event. General Arts and Science The faculty and staff of the General Arts and Science (GAS) Department initiated a new student bursary fund. To launch the bursary, they hosted a community event on February 12, 2011. Les Emmerson and the Hitmen played at Greenfield’s Restaurant and Music Hall. All proceeds will go to fund GAS student bursaries. Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley Pembroke City Council approved the transfer of land along the Pembroke waterfront that will be the new home of Algonquin College in the Ottawa Valley. In April 2010, City Council unanimously approved the sale of the land to the College for the fee of $10.00 under a series of conditions. Recently, Council heard that those conditions have been fully met and approved the transfer of approximately 14 acres to the College. Centre for Organizational Learning Algonquin College employees celebrated Canada’s Healthy Workplace from November 1‐5, 2010. This year, 230 participants registered in 21 well‐attended workshops. We were fortunate to have four volunteer 4th year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) students working with us to support the project. Their efforts in their three‐week educational campaign served to help promote health and wellness among Algonquin staff by providing resources, conducting employee surveys and encouraging participation in various health challenges. Student Activity Two students from the Graphic Design program were winners in the “Free My Grapes” logo contest. Mohammad Mozafarian won $500 and Morgan Dunbar won $250. The Loggersports Team hosted a Lumberjack Meal on November 25, 2010. Just under $1100 was raised by the event which was attended by approximately 120 people.

Staff and students of the School of Hospitality and Tourism took part in the Sixth Annual Operation Big Turkey which consists of preparing a turkey dinner for approximately 1400 people in the kitchens on campus and then delivering these to different locations around the city on Christmas Eve. Joe Banks, Coordinator, Journalism, successfully launched GoJournalism, a non‐profit project that is funded, owned and operated by the College’s Journalism program and administered by our Applied Research Department. It is an open source project to pioneer Ottawa‐based “community powered reporting”. Through GoJournalism, the public can commission and participate with journalists to report on important and perhaps overlooked topics. Journalists can also pitch stories they hope will be funded directly by the public or mainstream news organizations. For more on GoJournalism, go to: http://gojournalism.ca/. Louise Lahache, Coordinator, General Arts and Science – Aboriginal program met with high school students from the northern Quebec communities of Waskaganish, Nemiscau, Wemindji and Whapmagoostui. The students were in Ottawa to tour Algonquin College to help them prepare for selecting a postsecondary institution for their college years. Academic Upgrading hosted the “Great Gift Giveaway” on December 16, 2010 which was a huge success. Students and staff brought in gently used items to be exchanged. On December 2, 2010, the president of the Dutch Canadian Club of Pembroke made a donation of $1755.25 for the new campus. The funds were raised at a recent reunion of the organization. A presentation of a painting of a symbolic wooden shoe was also made to the Dean.

  • Honour and Care
    Honourand Care Spring 2018 A Blessed Life By Peter McKinnon everal birthday cards adorn Edith Goodspeed’s room at the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, marking her recent birthday. “This was Snumber 99,” she says with a smile, “for all my future birthdays, I won’t count any higher…I’ll just stay 99.” Edith has certainly earned the right to lie about her age. As a Nursing Sister in England during the Second World War, she experienced the horrors of Nazi bombing and helped countless soldiers recover enough to return home or back into battle. She later raised three children and today is blessed with seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Born in 1919 as the second child of a farm family in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, Edith Mary Ferrall was named after her aunt. Edith’s father died before she was three; her mother sold the farm and raised Edith and her brother Arthur in Cypress River, Manitoba. “My parents both worked hard and did a lot for the community,” she recalls.

Matthew Horwood reports. rime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered an emotional apology in the House of Commons, November 7, for the Canadian government’s decision not to accept a boatload of German PJews seeking refuge from Nazi persecution a few months before the start of the Second World War. During his remarks, Trudeau also said the gov- ernment was committed to fighting contemporary anti-Semitism in all its forms. In May 1939, the MS St. Louis, a ship carrying 907 European Jews seeking refuge from Nazi Germany, arrived in Cuba. Despite the fact that the refugees faced imminent danger, they were denied entry to Cuba, the United States and Canada.

  • Made in America the Blue Jays Land in Toronto, April 1977
    EMMA PLATOFF MADE IN AMERICA THE BLUE JAYS LAND IN TORONTO, APRIL 1977 In 1977, Toronto embarked on the ambitious project of bringing baseball to the Great White North. So eager was Hogtown to host baseball, that, having settled for a subpar stadium, city leaders took care to spell out the game’s rules, lingo, and mathematics to the newspaper-reading public, hoping to convert thousands of Torontonians into baseball’s first Canadian fanbase. The trappings of baseball culture in the States were an integral part of the move—from the songs to the drinks in the stands—all of which became incor- porated into a new synthesis of baseball and Canadian culture. Graham Ambrose, BR ’18, colorfully captures the Toronto Blue Jays’ thrilling first season and popular success. Visiting the machinators behind baseball’s rise to success as well as public’s reactions, the follow- ing pages are an immersive look into the pastime’s often-surprising first years in Canada. By Graham Ambrose, JE ’18 Written for “Quebec and Canada, 1791-Present” Professor Jay Gitlin Faculty Advisor: Jay Gitlin Edited by Christine Wang, Gillian Page, and Heidi Katter 29 MADE IN AMERICA Toronto alderman George Ben had earned a reputation for sternness. A veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War,1 Ben exhibited little patience for the more frivolous ventures of the Toronto City Council. Across fifteen years in public ser- vice, few such ventures proved more frivolous to the Spartan, Slovakian-born lawyer2 than the arrival of Major League Baseball in Toronto.
